Only She Knows: Chuck’s song to Pauline

When I first flushed out the character Chuck Morgan, I knew he had ambition to be a writer, but I soon discovered he also had an interest in songwriting. When he met Pauline, naturally, he ended up writing her a song. One thing led to another and in the process of me writing this book, I came up with the idea of actually completing Chuck’s song, recording it, and making it available to those who buy the book. You can pick up My Year as a Clown where ever fine digital books are sold.

Declan O’Rourke, an extremely talented singer/songwriter from Dublin, produced the track. You can read about how he also helped me shape the song here.

If you’re interested in knowing more, check out the video interview with the very talented guys I played with below. You’ll also find the final lyric.

Only She Knows (Words & Music by Robert Steven Williams)

Sparks crackle in the air, smoke smolders in the brush
I’m blinded by the glare, feels like a high-school crush
And I doubt that she’s aware, I’m thinking about us

Maybe she loves meAnd she don’t know itMaybe she loves meJust can’t show it — maybe that’s itMaybe she loves meBut she can’t risk a lotMaybe. Only she knows
Pull the petals off of daisies, pulled before they’re in bloom
Is what I’m feeling so crazy, is what I’m feeling too soon

Maybe she loves meAnd she don’t know itMaybe she loves meJust can’t show it — maybe that’s itMaybe she loves meBut she can’t risk a lotMaybe. Only she . . .

With the power to stop picking flowers
This could be the hour that I break her spell —
If she doesn’t love me, then I don’t want to know

Maybe she loves meAnd she don’t know itMaybe she loves meJust can’t show it — maybe that’s itMaybe she loves meBut she can’t risk a lotMaybe. Only she knows
